K, so the problem is not that they won't fire. It is that the "generous" direct LOS targeting for indirect fire weapons is not applicable to the mortar once it runs out of HE ammo... My scenario has two panzers in a forest, kind of like two rude pigs in a blanket.

Unfortunately it won't let me upload as the save game file is 20mb.

I will try to post it in a bit. It's the first mission of the battle pack campaign "Amiens tonight".

By the way, they will shoot smoke OK as long as they have HE ammo remaining, but it doesn't seem to fire like regular mortar smoke, rather has a flatter ballistic arc.

Could you open your own thread? This one is for 2" mortar round smoke being bugged. It's a serious problem as every British squad has these mortars.

I am, and I did, and they did not.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread... But DAMN I need smoke and those mortars can't fire it! Using "target smoke command" but every thing is "out of range" and the mortars won't fire either WP or smoke!

Random smallish scenario with historical purchase of units, no off board arty or airstrikes please PM for email address - but only if you PROMISE to finish the scenario

Anyone who has dealt with trying to accurately model afvs, knows that the intricacies of period radio equipment, and which could communicate with which, are not something to be messed with lightly.!

Heheh, most likely, most likely... I hear gamey complaints start early most of the time

Hey, far be it from me to point out, that you posted that update well after I PMd you. Get back to me on that last PM...

Well, I sent you a PM and no response...

Like the title says. Shoot me a PM. H2hh/dropbox

Armor quality was more important in being able to sustain multiple hits without cracking. Reduced quality was a function of over hardening vs. optimal hardening (alloying materials very important here).
